You are running Apache on Windows and you want to telnet into it from the computer it is running on. Why?? Do you need to run some command just use the dos prompt and change dirs into the apache dir and run them from the dos prompt.

Please don't PM me with questions.
Use the forums, that is what they are here for.

Originally posted by jumpthru oh, wluke gave me the impression i didn't need to set up any software to telnet in. i'll try setting up that software d3v suggested, now...

No I said... You don't need Telnet to access your anything on your local machine. Why would you want to do so? You can simply run a command prompt window to do anything you need to do at that level. Trying to setup a telnet daemon so you can telnet from Windows Explorer to the Command Prompt on the same machine is a simple waste of effort when you can simply type "Windows Key-R", put "Command" in the dialog box and hit enter.

On a win9x/me machine, it would be very hard determine "file owner". E.g. if you had multiple users, it would be hard to restrict their access rights. This is one of the reasons you dont need chmod on etc.

The reason I wanted to do it, was cause I am setting up a server, and that is just one of the componets a server had. I was thinking I could thne telnet in from school and get to files I needed. I also want to setup a ftp server.

But I am yet to find a good program for either. I cant find a free program that has good user rights control.

got to ten hosting companies, look at the features of their packages, I am 100% sure that you will find all the unix hosting account have telnet and the NT ones don't. There has to be areason for that.

You are right... Good NT hosts will provide PCAnywhere accounts so you can use that to connect.
